At least something happened today.

I still think Wilson could come back. He was money in the playoffs. I think he has an offer on the table, and wants to test the market to see if it can be topped. If nobody bites I could see him circling back around to Sakic's offer, he seemed to like it here and as long as he came back for 1-2 million less I'd be happy to have him back.

Stealing this from the main board...

According to Friedman Clarkson's contract was offered at the draft with a 5th round pick as a compensation. No wonder he didn't get traded.

Elliotte Friedman discusses Bobrovsky/Panarin's future, the Flames and RFAs - Sportsnet.ca

19:40 mark Elliotte Friedman says that the Vegas Golden Knights were offering a free 5th round pick to any team willing to take David Clarkson's contract. He has 1 year remaining at 5.25m AAV(insured: 3.25m dollars with a 2.25m signing bonus).

a 5th!!! What a joke, Marleau cost a 1st.

 

[Ivan13]

Clarkson costs 250k after insurance, Pat costs 6+

 

[Balthazar]

Clarkson costs 250k after insurance, Pat costs 6+

2.25M, not 250k

 

[lonelybadger]

Clarkson costs 250k after insurance, Pat costs 6+

Buyout was only 3.8 million. And Marleau can still actually put on hockey skates unlike Clarkson.

 

[dahrougem2]

Lol @ Vegas thinking some team was going to do them a favour for a 5th round pick.

Hahahaha a free 5th...

It's crazy no one bit on that

Maybe the Islanders need a Varlamov.

Rights to Varlamov for the rights to Lee.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Rights to Varlamov for the rights to Lee.

Are rights even a thing now with the tampering period open?

 

[Pokecheque]

Don't look now, but the team with the second-highest payroll in the NHL behind the cap-destroying Golden Knights? The Arizona Coyotes.

Of course they only have one more key RFA left to sign (Crouse) so that's probably why. But still, they only got $2 million or so in cap space. That's a lot of money for what looks like a pretty mediocre team.

 

[Pokecheque]

Speaking of the Yotes, I COMPLETELY forgot about Calvin Pickard! Wonder if they can somehow sign/waive him to be the #3 goalie.

 

[hughdreamz]

We need a trade dammit!

 

[NeverBeNormal]

Sooooooo... with 31 Thoughts basically torpedoing the Avs' chances at anyone we thought they were looking at, umm, maybe, I mean, what about... Duchene? Don't throw rotten fruit at me!

Just don't think that's happening. Both Montreal and Nashville will likely be making better pitches, and I still wouldn't rule out him returning to Columbus. I think it'd take a BIG offer for him to come back, and I don't think there' much, if any, desire by either side to bring him back.
